What are some uses for feta cheese?

Question

I've recently discovered this yummy cheese. What can I use it for other than sprinkling it on salad?

Answer 1

Oh! Feta is awesome. It is great in an omelette and it is great in baked appetizers with vegetables. It is delicious in this pasta I make...very simple...whole grain pasta, the sauce is red and green peppers, tomatoes, olive oil, onions, garlic, mushrooms, loads of crumbled feta until you have a nice sauce! Salt and pepper, oregano and some cayenne and crushed red peppers until it is a nice sauce. You need it to be pourable...but the portions you put in of the ingredients depends on your taste. Pour over the pasta. Tada! Simple, yummy and even better with a glass of wine!

Uses For Feta Cheese

Answer 3

Take and bake up some garlic bread or buy some Pepperidge Farm garlic toast in the freezer section of the grocery store. Toast according to directions. After it's all toasted drain a can of Italian style diced tomatoes, and get some feta cheese. Spoon some of the tomatoes on each slice of bread and sprinkle with the feta cheese. You can also add a little bit of a drizzle of olive oil over the top and salt and pepper. I love this.

Answer 4

argh, what all did I put in those darn things.....

Tomatoes, not grape or cherry tomatoes, but they weren't romas or regular ones either, they were about golf ball sized...

slice the top off of 'em, scoop the seeds and junk out and discard the innards. Put a little salt inside the tomato shells and place upside down on a paper towel to drain excess moisture.

take some feta, some basil, some garlic, a drizzle of olive oil.... grrrr, I really should start writing these things down when I do them... if I had had spinach I would have used some.... fresh cracked black pepper... and some of the trout I had just taken off the grill. (anything that catches your eye, really, that's the joy of cooking, right there.) Mix all this stuff together until it's evenly blended.

Now scoop that stuff you just mixed up into the tomatoes, put the tops back on them (I used toothpicks) and put them on the grill for a few minutes. Or under the broiler would probably work too... or in a toaster oven.... you get the idea. Not for too long! You want the feta to get all melty inside without the tomato burning......

great, now I'm hungry... thanks a lot.

mm feta cheese is delicious. I like to take plain feta cheese, crumble it, put it a bowl and mix pesto. then take chicken with bone and skin and stuff the the feta/pesto mix under the skin of the chicken. then sprinkle lemon juice on the chicken and bake it until its golden brown. its so yummy b/c the feta cheese is nice and melted and is great with the chicken. good to have with salad or brocoli as a side

Answer 8

TE thing to do with feta cheese is to:
1. Cook green beans (caned or fresh) in butter or margerine.
2. Add salt and feta cheese--more feta is better in this dish, but do not overpower the green beans.
3. Do not "cook" the feta into the beans, just add when you are just about to eat the beans, and give the cheese a slight warming.

Answer 9

My recommendation is to try COW (instead of the usual goat) feta. It tastes milder and here is a recipe for watermellon salad - sounds weird but tastes absolutely amazing:

Cut up a couple oz.s of cow feta (use goat if you must)
Cut a small watermellon in to cubes, or just small pieces.
Cut about 8 black olives (preferably Greek, gourmet type)
A sprinkly of sunflower seeds / pumpkin seeds optional

Mix these up.

Sauce (mix together w a whisk):

4 Tbsp.s olive oil
3 Tbsp.s apple (or raspberry) vinegar
A few "squirts" of bottled lemon
1/2 tsp. Thyme
1/2 tsp. cumin

Put this over your watermellon salad. It is a delicious middle-eastern Jewish dish which offers a great balance of salty and sweet.

Answer 10

My ABSOLUTE FAVORITE thing to do with feta cheese is to:
1. Cook green beans (caned or fresh) in butter or margerine.
2. Add salt and feta cheese--more feta is better in this dish, but do not overpower the green beans.
3. Do not "cook" the feta into the beans, just add when you are just about to eat the beans, and give the cheese a slight warming.

This dish may not sound amazing, but I promise you, it really is! Good luck!
